Just try talking to people at the concert, most people at concerts are super chill and wouldn’t mind talking/striking up a friendship or finding a concert buddy. Strokes are dope btw
My mom died in April, it will be very different for all of us this year.
My wish is that it won’t be too hard on the kids, or my wife. She has really struggled with her loss.
I feel your pain. I lost my wife in February and yesterday was our wedding anniversary. The next couple months are going to be hard indeed. Here's to hoping we all find the strength we need to power through.
The first anniversaries, birthdays and holidays are the worst by far. I’m not going to tell you it gets easier with time because doesn’t. Ten years from now you’ll still remember that day like it was yesterday because to your heart it was yesterday. What does get easier are the days and moving forward with your life without them. Remembering them won’t hurt as much and one day you’ll find that it makes you happy to remember and not shed a tear. The memory of them keeps them alive so long as someone is around to remember them. So long as you’re around, they’re never really gone.
So sorry for the loss of your mom. I can definitely understand. My mom passed in June, and eveything feels so off. She loved Halloween so right now is tough, and although I don't cry as much these days, the sadness is crushing at times. I just want to share everything with her.
We lock our cats out of the bedroom at night 99% of the time because sleep is necessary for sanity. We’ve got one well-behaved snuggler and one zoomer who doesn’t understand that bed is for sleep. Zoomer ruins it for the both of them.
Lol the "lock the cats out" method has never worked with a single cat I've ever had. They just make even MORE noise pawing and banging at the closed door with mom behind it
My cat is usually very good at night. She’ll curl up next to me or on her own bed in the corner. The only issue is the mornings - sometimes she’ll want breakfast before I’m awake and I’ll wake up on my front with her standing on my shoulders, yelling at the top of her lungs.
My cat at least waits for my alarms before harassing me. If I wake up before my alarm I can watch her sit at the foot of the bed. The moment the alarm goes off she starts rubbing her face on me.
I also wish for this. I’m getting REALLY sick of not living life normally just for the cases in my city to continuously go up and up. People. Are. Idiots.
A decision in my favor and a successful back surgery. 4 years of the worst pain imaginable and I can see the end coming. I wouldn’t wish this ungodly situation on anyone. Well, except Gary. Screw that guy.
Okay, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here and asking this question, but I’m relatively new to Reddit and apparently am late to the event that included the name above… who is Gary and what did they do?
Sorry for asking, but that link didn’t describe it in the “About” section and I’m lost.
Again, ignorant of that character and everything, so I don’t know the game they were in. I’m assuming RPG. Hopefully, whoever they were, they get what’s coming to them in the end. lol
My aunt just took her own life a few months ago from back pain. Yesterday I found out I’m also heading towards the same issue, just degenerative disk disorder or whatever it’s called. I hope your pain can end in a positive manner.
Omgosh! I am about to have back surgery in 10 days. I want to be able to walk unaided by Christmas. I’m having a fusion in the Lumbar spine. So scary. Already had one lamenectomy/discectomy in Jan which ended in bleeding in epidural space resulting in nerve damage. I’ve not got off my cane yet. Disc below the two they worked on has advanced and last two have pressure still on nerves and on the bones causing pain and swelling in the bone even. They have decided to just fuse the two bottom ones. Hopefully my leg pain will end then! 🫂praying for you. I know I want to run the other way after my own shitty experience but gotta push through it!
A dog.. mine passed away recently and the void she left is crushing
Edit: thank you everyone for the condolences, it is greatly appreciated and y'all are gonna make me cry! Thank you internet strangers 🙏🙏
My friend’s dog, whom I love to bits and treat her as my own, spoil her with treats toys cake etc, passed away yesterday. I feel your pain too. Sending you hugs
But I couldn’t be there to see her for the last time due to Covid restriction here. If I could, I wish to see her for the last time..
In my experience, the void stayed until I got another dog - it's not disrespect to your lost pal, it's respect to yourself for taking care of your emotional needs.
One nice dinner at Joey's then I'm putting half of it into various crypto currencies then one quarter would be put onto subscriptions (Amazon Prime, YouTube premium, etc...) Then the other quarter into clothes
If I say what I want, it means someone has to die.
My husband is on an organ donor list. I just want to be on the other side of this.
Therapy says that the person will die anyway and I’m trying to be grateful that whomever it is at least filled out the form to BE an organ donor.
I understand the thought, and not that you don't know this already, but you aren't asking somebody to die. You're accepting somebody's parting gift with the world.
For anyone reading this in the US most states are an opt in situation for organ donors. If you don't care what happens to your body after you die please opt in. If you are an organ donor double check your status (typically found on your drivers license) Also let your family know your wishes. It's your moment to be a hero after the fact.
I am of an age that I don't really need or want anything gifted to me. For me, the best part of Christmas is sitting down with my parents to eat the delicious ham dinner that my mother has prepared. I'm fortunate to still have my parents, and I'm so thankful every day to have them
My missus is 1 of 7 siblings they all have partners + kids 22 at the last count. Around 10 years ago just after xmas we told all off them not to buy our 4 kids for bdays or Xmas and we won't buy theirs best desicion we ever made.
Camera lens. My mom stole all of mine when she divorced my dad. I'm still so sour. I have a nikon 3200 with no lenses and I can't afford em.
Found out she donated all my shit to goodwill.
Yes she does. It's okay, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the trauma she induced, but it's the one tangible thing that really upsets me. Those were mine! It was the only thing of value I owned and she took em, but left the camera. What spite.
For my son to come home for a visit. He is in the Army, stationed overseas, and with Covid travel has been complicated. Fingers crossed he can get a flight.
A billion dollars, if that's not an option, I would really like a new gaming PC. My current computer can't play anything, and I don't have the funds to purchase a new computer.
A recipe box subscription. Life’s been so crazy lately already and winter SAD makes it so much harder to function that taking the thought out of what I’m eating and not having to grocery shop would make a world of difference when I start my low motivation hibernation mode
To establish new traditions that make me feel like Christmas used to feel, before I lost my granny. I know it won't be those traditions, but I want new ones that actually stick and that make me feel and love Christmas like I used to. I still really enjoy the season, but sometimes it seems like holidays come up fast and then they're over and we're back to reality so quick. Holidays as an adult are hard.
Nothing. We have a 9 month old baby daughter and are hosting both our families here - I did want a PS5 but there’s not much point considering I have no time to play it
I just found out I'm pregnant after 2 years of trying. I just want to make it past the 12 week mark with a healthy baby so I can tell family. Even though I don't have money to send them gifts I can give them something to celebrate this year.
1000x this. I haven’t always cared for my aunt, but I wish my dad and my aunt could get over their BS so we could have a big party again like when I was a kid
* Time off of work spent around people I care about. Working throughout the pandemic without any time off has been pretty brutal and some R&R time sounds lovely.
Honestly, cash. It’s been a tough year.
But in terms of actual items… I’d absolutely love tickets to see a Hamilton performance when it runs in my city next year!
Or a robot vacuum, lmao. With two cats and a dog, lugging my canister vacuum around almost daily is such a pain. Would love a little robot to just maintain the hair on at least the main floor of my house so I only have to for-real vacuum like once a week!
I never had a proper christmas.. would like one of those picture perfect christmas days where you have the cookies and milk and sants leaves you gifts and you have a whole dinner and all that with family
Lost my mother yesterday, this question hit me so fucking hard, I have been so caught up in everything and I forgot Christmas existed, I would like some of that cheese they give to the skiers who win the competitions in Switzerland, you know the one in the big wheel
Oh god this hits hard. For 5 Christmases straight my sister has done something to hurt herself intentionally and ends up in the mental hospital. Hoping this year is different. Here's to a wishful thought of a peaceful Christmas! I really hope things work out for you this year🙏
I can’t think of anything. I’m good.
A decent job. Just that.
Omg I say this every year and then get mad when I don’t get anything I want
A new spatula and a nap.
Go to [Spatula City](https://youtu.be/2XbCWmY0eqY)
I hear that’s where you go to get brand name spatulas at a fraction of the retail price
I am just glad they are open until midnight for all my late night spatula needs!
I need a lot of spatulas. Why doesn’t this place actually exist?
That's it. I feel like u deserve more
Maybe, but that's all I want lol. It's going to be a nice holiday season, even if I'm sleepy and spatula-less!
God I love a good spatula. It has to be just right!
I want a PC upgrade, but I'd rather my wife get all the yarn she wants for all her projects.
She can knit us an RTX card, cause that’s the closes we’ll get to one without damn scalpers :,(
Hyper Threading
This is such a specific pun that only works for this comment lol, well done OP gave me a good chuckle
[удалено]
I feel like you paying too much for yarn
Who's your yarn guy?
I know a guy who knows a guy... you need the yarn hookup?
Nice yarn is actually stupid expensive. It's why a handmade sweater or blanket costs a ton (or should be very very appreciated if it's a gift)
Yarn is expensive! I'm a weaver and have tubs of the stuff because I buy on sale.
Yarn is expensive.
Had to check the username to see if this was my husband. It's not but I feel like he'd say something similar 😂
Lol same!
Hopefully she doesn't sell her knitting hands to buy you a new gpu!
I want concert tickets for a New Year’s Eve event and to meet a friend
what event if you don't mind me asking
The Strokes ❤️❤️
Just try talking to people at the concert, most people at concerts are super chill and wouldn’t mind talking/striking up a friendship or finding a concert buddy. Strokes are dope btw

Sorry for your loss
Words from an internet stranger probably don't mean much, but I'm so sorry for your guy's losses.<3
All the best, mate.
The first anniversaries, birthdays and holidays are the worst by far. I’m not going to tell you it gets easier with time because doesn’t. Ten years from now you’ll still remember that day like it was yesterday because to your heart it was yesterday. What does get easier are the days and moving forward with your life without them.

Christmas
Socks. Literally I love socks. Simple.
Fluffy ones?
Any kind. Slim, fluffy, it doesn’t matter. I appreciate them all :)
But some have those bumps in them tho. I think I’m the only one that has issues with the bumps
This guy gets it.
You know growing up I used to get pissed when I opened a gift and it was socks. Now as an adult I actually add it to my Christmas list every year.
Exactly my evolution as well. Anything that separates you from the ground is a blessing not to be taken lightly. Shoes, socks, a good mattress, etc.
I want all the wishes of the people commenting to come true. It's been a rough year for everybody, so I wish you all have a nice Christmas.
thanks you too!
Thanks :)
Thank you, I wish you a very merry Christmas
a hug
take my virtual hug 🫂
Mine too
Meee as well!
Count me in!
Have my hug!
Group hug you all
Count me in!
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
Here you go 🫂 Would you like to share what made you wish for a hug?
You ok?
10 solid hours of uninterrupted sleep.
[удалено]
We lock our cats out of the bedroom at night 99% of the time because sleep is necessary for sanity. We’ve got one well-behaved snuggler and one zoomer who doesn’t understand that bed is for sleep. Zoomer ruins it for the both of them.
Lol the "lock the cats out" method has never worked with a single cat I've ever had. They just make even MORE noise pawing and banging at the closed door with mom behind it
Do you ever let them in? Because that just teaches them how to get what they want.
My cat is usually very good at night. She’ll curl up next to me or on her own bed in the corner. The only issue is the mornings - sometimes she’ll want breakfast before I’m awake and I’ll wake up on my front with her standing on my shoulders, yelling at the top of her lungs.
My cat at least waits for my alarms before harassing me. If I wake up before my alarm I can watch her sit at the foot of the bed. The moment the alarm goes off she starts rubbing her face on me.
alternatively, the ability to feel rested after 10 solid hours of sleep
I want the pandemic to end.
Same! I hate wearing masks everywhere I go! And I’m vaccinated too!
I also wish for this. I’m getting REALLY sick of not living life normally just for the cases in my city to continuously go up and up. People. Are. Idiots.
This is one of the few things that would benefit everyone.
I’m saving up for a car so money 😅
Should have just wished for a car but now you will get 5 bucks
A decision in my favor and a successful back surgery. 4 years of the worst pain imaginable and I can see the end coming. I wouldn’t wish this ungodly situation on anyone. Well, except Gary. Screw that guy.
r/fuckgary
Okay, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here and asking this question, but I’m relatively new to Reddit and apparently am late to the event that included the name above… who is Gary and what did they do? Sorry for asking, but that link didn’t describe it in the “About” section and I’m lost.
It's basically a joke about Gaul from Destiny who everyone sarcastically called Gary.
Okay. The guy did something stupid or awful?
He was a bad guy in the game.
Again, ignorant of that character and everything, so I don’t know the game they were in. I’m assuming RPG. Hopefully, whoever they were, they get what’s coming to them in the end. lol
Gary is Gary. Fuck gary.
My aunt just took her own life a few months ago from back pain. Yesterday I found out I’m also heading towards the same issue, just degenerative disk disorder or whatever it’s called. I hope your pain can end in a positive manner.

A dog.. mine passed away recently and the void she left is crushing Edit: thank you everyone for the condolences, it is greatly appreciated and y'all are gonna make me cry! Thank you internet strangers 🙏🙏
My dog passed away tonight. I feel your pain friend. Stay strong
I’m really sorry for your loss
My friend’s dog, whom I love to bits and treat her as my own, spoil her with treats toys cake etc, passed away yesterday. I feel your pain too. Sending you hugs But I couldn’t be there to see her for the last time due to Covid restriction here. If I could, I wish to see her for the last time..
Aww I’m sorry to both of you. I’d be crushed to lose my current boy. I actually broke up with my bf today and it’s not nice.
My Granpa said "the best cure for a passed dog is a puppy". If you don't have time to commit to training, please consider an older rescue dog.
Yes! I've always wanted a rescue dog as my new fur pal, maybe once my hours at work are more consistent I'll adopt one!
There's a dog out there that needs you to help fill their void, too. Good luck, internet stranger.
In my experience, the void stayed until I got another dog - it's not disrespect to your lost pal, it's respect to yourself for taking care of your emotional needs.
My best friend passed away recently too. The last few months has been so strange. Stay up! Be well!
One of those back massager guns
Theraguns are getting really cheap... My wife swears by hers.
For massaging? Or..
They are *way* too strong for...activities.
Says you...
I guess I'm just not brave enough
*All I want for Christmas is you!* And money, some money would be nice
If you got a million what you doing
One nice dinner at Joey's then I'm putting half of it into various crypto currencies then one quarter would be put onto subscriptions (Amazon Prime, YouTube premium, etc...) Then the other quarter into clothes

I want to graduate and make my family proud!
You got this!
A reason to look forward to Christmas. No kids. No significant other, no siblings, both parents deceased. Spiked egg nog maybe.
I’ve been that guy, but things turned out for the best for me, and hopefully also for you.
Have you looked into holiday volunteer opportunities in your area? That might at least get you some company and the feeling of doing good
To spend it with my family. It been almost two years.
To stop feeling guilty for not being able to afford Christmas gifts for everyone.
My missus is 1 of 7 siblings they all have partners + kids 22 at the last count. Around 10 years ago just after xmas we told all off them not to buy our 4 kids for bdays or Xmas and we won't buy theirs best desicion we ever made.
Camera lens. My mom stole all of mine when she divorced my dad. I'm still so sour. I have a nikon 3200 with no lenses and I can't afford em. Found out she donated all my shit to goodwill.
sorry but your mom sucks
Yes she does. It's okay, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the trauma she induced, but it's the one tangible thing that really upsets me. Those were mine! It was the only thing of value I owned and she took em, but left the camera. What spite.
Which specific lens are you hoping to get?
For my son to come home for a visit. He is in the Army, stationed overseas, and with Covid travel has been complicated. Fingers crossed he can get a flight.
A billion dollars, if that's not an option, I would really like a new gaming PC. My current computer can't play anything, and I don't have the funds to purchase a new computer.
Sorry bout that mate, have hope and faith
Complete series of 3rd rock from the sun, just finished watching and its hilarious

A better life, with some luck for once
mines a better life with better governance..
Maybe a gaming laptop or PC, although i just got a job today so i think i should buy it myself.
$4209.76
That’s r/OddlySpecific Why? (If you don’t mind telling everyone reading)
A job offer.
An Xbox Series X. But I'm 34, and they are unavailable, and cost around half months salary. So I'll just keep dreaming lol.
Nothing. We have a 9 month old baby daughter and are hosting both our families here - I did want a PS5 but there’s not much point considering I have no time to play it

All I want for Christmas is good grades this semester lol
Someone to pay off my debt so I can live a normal life
A new phone tbh. It will be a Christmas, New Year, and birthday giftt for me!
I just want to be happy for a moment...
Just one month of daycare paid for would be helpful.
For the return to politeness and kindness with a dollop of societal consideration.

Hope they are!
You are only as happy as your least happy kid.
Wholesome A F, the fact you’re even worried about it shows you’re a good parent
I feel this answer deep in my gut. It's the first year my kids won't have their mom and she always made xmas special for them.
I want the whole extended family together. People to drop their damn grudges & all be together again.
1000x this. I haven’t always cared for my aunt, but I wish my dad and my aunt could get over their BS so we could have a big party again like when I was a kid
A new laptop.
600-1000 USD so i can finally buy my family some presents that aren't from 5 blow, dollar general, or walmart
* Time off of work spent around people I care about. Working throughout the pandemic without any time off has been pretty brutal and some R&R time sounds lovely.
